Kursy

Kursy is a Polish term whose meaning depends on context. It is the plural of kurs and can refer to exchange rates or to educational courses. The word is used across finance and education, and may appear as a toponym in some cases.

In economics and finance, kursy (kurs wymiany) describe the price at which one currency can be exchanged for another. They are quoted as buy and sell rates and fluctuate with market conditions, monetary policy, and investor sentiment. Banks, exchange offices, and central banks publish official and reference kursy, including the mid-market rate.

In education, kursy denotes courses or classes, such as language courses, professional or vocational courses, and remedial or enrichment programs. Courses vary in length, modality (classroom, online, hybrid), and credential outcomes, and typically have curricula, instructors, and tuition or fees.

Beyond finance and education, Kursy can also be used as a place name in Poland. The term is thus a homonym with multiple uses in public life.
